A young (y/n) giggled as she played in her family's garden. "Oh honey," Her aunt chuckled, carrying the 7 year old girl in her arms. "Don't mess up your mother's garden, you silly girl." (y/n) pouted, releasing the roses from her fist. "But why?? Mommy's flowers are very pretty!!" She asked, leaning her forehead onto her aunt's chest. "You know how much we love the flowers, so please don't ruin them hun." (y/n) looked up and nodded her head happily. "Okay auntie!! I promise that I wont pick anymore flowers!!"

Her aunt raised an eyebrow at the young girl. "I wouldn't say that. Maybe just don't take them from your mom's garden until you're.. hm, maybe 15 or so?" The (e/c) child's jaw dropped slightly at the statement. "Wha?? That's like a billion years! I wanna have mommy's flowers now though.." She laughed softly as she placed a finger onto (y/n's) lips. "Be patient, my dear. Just like your brother!" The two women turned to look at the young Tenma, who was currently chasing around stray lizards in the garden. "Uwa?? But he's like a million years old too, auntie!!" (y/n) said with wide eyes.

"The food is ready! You all can come in now!" Her mother called from inside the house. (y/n's) aunt set the little girl back onto the cobblestone floor. "Let's go before your mother's famous pie gets cold!" She grinned. (y/n) jumped in excitement as she clapped her hands. "Yay!! I'm sooo hungry."




⇨  -  𝗬/𝗡'𝗦 𝗣𝗢𝗩 (present time, age 15)

          I sat kneeled down at the garden with a gentle smile on my face. "Yay auntie.. I'm finally 15 years old now..! It didn't take a million years, but it sure did feel like it." I said with a saddened expression. Finally picking my first rose, I couldn't help but feel a tear roll down my cheek. It was an ivory rose, her favorite kind. Ivory roses.. although similar to white roses, they have a different meaning. They are said to represent thoughtfulness, and gracefulness. The traits my aunt perfectly resembled.

Kokomi (l/n).. my wonderful relative, sister of my mother. My aunt..

Though I was birthed from my mother, I had taken more traits of my aunt. We both had (e/c) eyes, a beautiful smile, and most importantly.. a natural charm. That never got in between the bond me and my mother has though, I loved them equally. They both cared for me and my brother, and there's nothing else I could possibly ask for! Even if my name is truly (y/n) Udai, the name (y/n) (l/n) will forever be placed in my heart.

I stood up from the cobblestone floors and began to gather more flowers from the garden. After doing so, I dashed to my bike and began riding as fast as I could. I can't let mother that I snuck out again, she wouldn't be able to bear the pain.. well, neither can I, but who else would visit my aunt..?

I parked my bike ever so gently as I arrived to my destination. Miyagi's cemetery.. land of the dead. There was no need to search, I already knew where she laid. I respectfully walked to my aunt's grave, biting the corner of my lip. It wasn't the first time I came here alone, but I couldn't help but feel.. extremely saddened. I kneeled beside the rocks before reciting a quick prayer. Standing up slowly, I began to speak.

"Hello auntie.." I started. "I'm finally 15 now..! Aren't you happy? It's been a while, I'm sorry. Tenma says that I shouldn't disobey mother and come here alone anymore.. but I didn't want to wait for another scheduled occasion.." Releasing the grip on the stem of the roses, the placed them beside her grave. "Here you go, I picked them from her garden. I kept my promise like I said.. I hope you're proud of me for doing so." Tears formed in the corner of my eyes as I started to sniffle.

"A-and I'm so sorry that y-you're gone because o-of me, and I hope you c-can forgive me.." I stammered, attempting to wipe the tears away.. but they kept on flooding in. I dropped to my knees and started to apologize continuously. "How can I even smile knowing what I did to you?? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!!" I said in a quiet tone. Grabbing onto the sides of my head, I gripped onto my hair to calm myself down. Before I knew it, I heard my name being called out, footsteps approaching me.

"Oh (y/n).." My brother whispered, pulling me into a deep hug. "I figured that you would be here today.. and I understand why, but mom will be seriously worried." I grabbed his hand and used to to stand up and regain balance. Tenma wiped away my tears with sadness in his eyes. "Cmon (y/n).. we can pay our respects at the altar at home."

I walked away slowly, turning my head back to whisper something softly.

"Happy Birthday to us.. auntie."
